Mustard Vinaigrette

Like most dressings, Mustard Vinaigrette is simple and easy to make. It’s the same proportions and technique as Basic Vinaigrette Dressing; you just add some Dijon mustard. You can easily double or halve the recipe. Use this on green salads, as a sauce for chicken, fish or pork, or as a dressing for a grain salad.
Total Active Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Makes: About 1 cup

Ingredients

¼ cup white wine vinegar

¾ cups extra virgin olive oil (or vegetable oil)

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste

Equipment

Glass Jar with Lid

Whisk or Blender, optional

Process

Combine the ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil, ¼ cup white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and ⅛ teaspoon of fine sea salt in a jar. Shake vigorously to blend. Or, if you prefer, you can emulsify the dressing by blending it in a blender, or with a whisk. Taste the dressing for salt. The best way to taste the dressing is to dip a lettuce leaf in it and eat the leaf. Add more sea salt if needed

Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Bring to room temperature (olive oil will solidify at cold temperatures) and shake before using.
